The image of Edoras rising on a great mound of boulders and stones over a vast sea of bronze grass was always very striking to me, and I thought it would be an interesting idea to explore for this culture. As for the architecture, I thought it would be an interesting contrast to blend the vaguely Greek [[Basenti]] architecture with Western European stylings used by those of [[Oran]] and [[Rhewing]]. This created a faintly Byzantine concept, only if the Byzantine Empire was formed somewhere in Kansas rather than the Black Sea. 5c1d83a722b4ad95e5feb0c7827e55079145a5e8 0 6 16 2024-06-26T04:06:58Z 99.102.212.104 0 Created page with "Eazy is his name and the boys comin straight outta [[Basenta]]" wikitext text/x-wiki Eazy is his name and the boys comin straight outta [[Basenta]] ec931411114cf1a60d7b7ffe63ec6b68b223b96e 0 7 17 2024-07-03T16:11:47Z MonkeNotic 2 Created page with "The inhabitants of [Alaria] are a unique appearance in [The Heath] due to both their [Basenti] roots and their devotion to the" wikitext text/x-wiki The inhabitants of [Alaria] are a unique appearance in [The Heath] due to both their [Basenti] roots and their devotion to the 018e9b244f7edde1f2c6870174a12a89815a6893 0 8 18 2024-07-03T16:22:52Z MonkeNotic 2 Created page with "The only race that is not native in any capacity to [The Ciric Kingdoms], the fairies dwell entirely in the region known as the [Lost Wilds], though it has many names in their various tongues.

His defeat of [[King Varotheus]] of [[Hykaron]] at the [[Battle of Broken Temples]] is still one of the most famous tales in The Fallow and is sung by bards around the world. [[Emperor Menoneas]] died shortly after completing his unification, passing the throne to his son, [[Emperor Thebeas]]. Under [[Emperor Thebeas]], the [[Shanobad Empire]] saw a surge in economic and political growth. Following the sealing of the [[Tower of Sorcery]] from the material plane in [[3000 BA]], commonly referred to as "the first year of the world", the [[Sorcerers]] of [[Maios]] had fallen into in-fighting and the forming of political factions within the [[Brotherhood of Sorcery]] elite. To try and utilize the strength of the [[sorcerers]], [[Emperor Thebeas]] offered that they build a permanent [[waystation]], known as the [[Bastion of Sorcery]], in his capital city of [[Menaxandria]]. This allowed the [[Brotherhood of Sorcery]] to comfortably separate their rival political factions. At this point, [[sorcery apprenticeship]] was not commonplace, which gave the [[Shanobad Empire]] an effective monopoly over magical services such as [[manaforging]], [[claysinging]], [[soilcalling]] and [[sailguiding]]. 6567138330709a1dfc16fffe4023f552f1689e7a 33 21 2024-07-30T00:27:09Z 99.102.212.104 0 /* The Legend of the Shanobad Empire */ wikitext text/x-wiki A land of jungles, deserts, savannahs, great lakes, warm coasts and rocky highlands: The Fallow is one of the most diverse and intriguing continents in all of [[The Ciric Kingdoms]]. Populated by many peoples, such as the [[Farosi]] and [[Coshi]] people of the [[Farojal]] Rainforests in the north-central region, the [[Shash]], [[Karsh]] and [[Filicosh]] people of the [[Mononan]] savanna in the southern horn of The Fallow, the gold-rich [[Sarali]] of the mountain kingdom of [[Sariel]] in the northeast, the merchant cities of [[Kilwarn]], [[Songsarn]], [[Rasaran]] and [[Gedaran]] that house the coastal [[Rasari]] people, the mystic [[Shani]] people of the old [[Shanobad Empire]] on the northern coast, their neighbors on the [[Lauon River]] and the [[Erandes River]] with their great gardens and farmlands, and many more native to this vast continent. The land of The Fallow itself is one of the most resource-rich in the world, being a focal point in the trade of gold, sugar, emeralds, limestone, [[shanreed]], [[erandfruit]] and many types of grain such as wheat and barley. The Fallow, despite its name, is perhaps one of the most fertile lands in not only [[The Ciric Kingdoms]], but perhaps the entire world of [[Maios]]. The name "The Fallow" itself derives from an ancient [[Shani]] legend, which saw [[Pugal]], the Dreadsire, destroy the powerful [[Shanobad Empire]] in a fiery cataclysm. == The Legend of The Fallow == It is believed that the [[Shanobad Empire]] was formed in the year [[2345 BA]] by [[Emperor Menoneas]] by merging the Reachman-diaspora kingdom of [[Hykaron]] and the splintered [[Proto-Shani]] kingdoms of [[Nanabadan]] and [[Shanabadan]].

Following the sealing of the [[Tower of Sorcery]] from the [[material plane]] in [[3000 BA]], the [[Sorcerers]] of [[Maios]] had fallen into disrepair as the brotherhood was scattered across Maios for lack of a central headquarters. To try and utilize the strength of the [[sorcerers]], [[Emperor Thebeas]] offered that they build a permanent [[waystation]], known as the [[Bastion of Sorcery]], in his capital city of [[Menaxandria]]. This allowed the [[Brotherhood of Sorcery]] to store the salvageable records they kept from the sealing of the Tower, as well as establish a training ground for new [[sorcerers]] and a meeting place for accomplished [[sorcerers]]. At this point, [[sorcery apprenticeship]] was not commonplace, which gave the [[Shanobad Empire]] an effective monopoly over magical services such as [[manaforging]], [[claysinging]], [[soilcalling]] and [[sailguiding]]. Through this, [[Menaxandria]] gained the nickname "The City of Wonders", and the Shanobad Empire quickly rose to be one of the world's foremost producers in agriculture. [[Menaxandria]] was said to have been six times the size of its current proportions in those days, sporting a tower palace called the [[Tooth of Thebeas]] that held the record as the tallest structure in the [[material plane]]. [[Emperor Thebeas]] was succeeded by [[Emperor Varabi the Greater]], who expertly utilized [[sailguiding]] to create the [[Water Roads]], which ran between all three continents and was heavily taxed by the [[Shanobad Empire]]. This gave way to the diaspora of [[sorcerers]], birthing the practice of [[sorcerer apprenticeship]]. In [[2385 BA]], during the height of their reign, the [[Shani]] were struck with a terrible burden. [[Pugal]], who had been defeated during the sealing of the [[Tower of Sorcery]] in [[3000 BA]], again returned from the [[Realm of Monsters]] with a refreshed army of his minions. e91c8efed034ecf1885b2567cb12494cd49efdb6 0 10 22 2024-07-28T18:48:10Z MonkeNotic 2 Created page with "The Brotherhood of Sorcery is [[Maios]]'s only organization of people with magical abilities." wikitext text/x-wiki The Brotherhood of Sorcery is [[Maios]]'s only organization of people with magical abilities. b4ce290e43587e28d0bd111613f50229f8d8de00 26 22 2024-07-28T19:12:28Z MonkeNotic 2 wikitext text/x-wiki The Brotherhood of Sorcery is [[Maios]]'s only organization of people with magical abilities.

The [[Tower of Sorcery]], along with around 1,600 [[sorcerers]] and more than 20,000 volumes on history, philosophy, magic, medicine, and engineering, were lost to [[The Gap]] and their status has remained unknown since. Since the sealing of The Tower, the Brotherhood has been housed in the [[Shani]] city of [[Menaxandria]], living in the [[Bastion of Sorcery]]. It is here that they have established their practices of [[tidekeeping]], [[claysinging]], [[sailguiding]], [[stokematching]], [[soilcalling]], [[mindveering]] and [[manaforging]]. These trades, along with other advisory services, have been provided throughout the world by way of the [[Water Roads]] and [[sorcery apprenticeship]]. The [[Brotherhood of Sorcery]] and all of these delegated tasks is still overseen by a [[Grandmaster]].

This is typically used for engineering purposes, with inventions like the [[hellsinger]], the [[rockfisher]] and the [[zephyrstep]]. The specific commands carved into contraptions utilizing the [[runes]] allows manaforged objects to perform spells equivalent to the abilities of a novice [[sorcerer]], with basic casts such as a blast of fire or a gust of wind. Nevertheless, this has allowed technology to vastly advance in a very short amount of time, with [[manaforging]] having only been discovered in late [[300 AL]]. The vast majority of [[sorcerers]] that serve lords are now being trained rigorously in [[manaforging]] to the same degree that [[claysinging]], [[soilcalling]] and [[sailguiding]] have historically been practiced. In [[451 AL]], the [[sorcerer]] [[Galatav II]] discovered [[golemcraft]], which allows for the rudimentary creation of life within previously inanimate objects. This can only be done between the cooperation of an [[enchanter]] and [[vivamancer]] to create a [[golem]], which has extremely limited emotion, the general inability to form highly complex thought such as existentialism or theology, as well as the need to constantly intake [[mana]] through its [[runeheart]]. Nevertheless, the [[sorcerers]] in [[Menaxandria]] have worked tirelessly to perfect this, and the usage of [[golems]] as a replacement for slave labor has already taken root throughout [[The Fallow]], and most especially in the [[Shani]] region. 0c27497d2f239c74736111535d3721d50ab985dd 0 12 30 2024-07-29T23:46:13Z 99.102.212.104 0 Created page with "A rune-powered trebuchet that generates and flings fireballs." wikitext text/x-wiki A rune-powered trebuchet that generates and flings fireballs. 480874640a749f48b6bf3cfdb135414f4b39f32c 0 13 31 2024-07-29T23:47:36Z 99.102.212.104 0 Created page with "A complex rune-powered crane that is capable of raising and lowering heavy objects without any need for a pulley." wikitext text/x-wiki A complex rune-powered crane that is capable of raising and lowering heavy objects without any need for a pulley. f568f60aa5abec5d1029bdc144250cdc38600f65 0 14 32 2024-07-29T23:48:33Z 99.102.212.104 0 Created page with "A rune-powered platform that is capable of floating in either a directly horizontal or vertical direction with a large weight capacity." wikitext text/x-wiki A rune-powered platform that is capable of floating in either a directly horizontal or vertical direction with a large weight capacity. beed17537f76c9a7e4cdc42f366c89dc518d34d5 0 15 35 2024-08-13T14:26:00Z 99.102.212.104 0 Created page with " Important peoples [[Rafhael Karband]], [[Leto Karbrand]]" wikitext text/x-wiki Important peoples [[Rafhael Karband]], [[Leto Karbrand]] c315e8819c8209cd2d0308fa93ff58e7ede050a2 0 16 36 2024-08-13T14:27:55Z 99.102.212.104 0 Created page with "The tall, handsome brother that was pronounced dead following the sacking of [[Rediron]], the ancestral city of the [[Karbrand]] family.
